The Nifty Realty Index is a sectoral stock market index that tracks the performance of the top real estate companies. This index tracks the performance of a portfolio of companies engaged in various real estate activities, including property development, construction, and real estate operations. The Nifty realty share price increases or decreases based on the performance of these companies and fluctuations in their individual share prices. The companies are selected based on their market capitalisation, liquidity and trading volume.
Companies in the index are weighted according to their free-float market capitalisation. This means larger companies with more freely tradable shares have a higher influence on the index's movements. Investors use the index’s real-time and historical performance to gauge the overall trend in the real estate sector and the market sentiment. Based on the performance of the Nifty Realty shares, investors make their investments in the included real estate stocks.
Furthermore, as these companies are the leaders in the real estate field, you can also discover premium properties by looking at their previous or current real estate projects. These companies often showcase their premium properties on their official websites, where you can find detailed information about ongoing and upcoming projects, including luxury apartments, villas, office spaces, and more.
